Several of the birds we especially like to see at the Garrett Family Preserve were both audible and visible this morning. Yellow-breasted Chats presented good scope views and Prairie Warblers were also cooperative. We had a brief look at an Indigo Bunting but only heard the skulking Common Yellowthroats and House Wrens.
